Toilets

We have a Changing Places toilet located next to the kiosk block on the far side of the car park, which can be accessed on tarmac paths. This can be opened with a RADAR key.

We have one unisex accessible toilet within the main visitor centre and also a further unisex accessible toilet in the toilet block by the playground, which is open at peak times. Both of these facilities can be reached via easy access pathways and ramps and do not require a RADAR key to access them.

Toilet facilities are available at all times when the car park is open to visitors, even if the café and shop are closed.
